Chapter 464 Sealing the Country
Chang'an is very peaceful!
At the beginning of December, Chengming Hall issued a decree, no longer restricting Buddhist disciples.But the prerequisite is that you must have a certificate issued by Cheng En Buddhist Temple, a special institution set up by the imperial court.The so-called Cheng'en Buddhist Temple was built on the basis of the Da'en Buddhist Temple. It was modeled on the layout of the White Horse Temple. Special officials were set up to distribute the certificates after the assessment.Those who spread the Dharma without a certificate will be punished as treason.

The so-called Cheng En means inheriting the grace of heaven, inheriting the grace of the Son of Heaven, and inheriting the grace of Dong Yu.

Some students who are not proficient in academics but have a lot of aura are ordered to serve as officials of Chengen Buddhist Temple.If monks, big or small, want to obtain the ultimatum, they must obtain the permission of these people.And these students, to put it bluntly, are all under Dong Bi's command.

The monk of Cheng'en Buddhist Temple is entitled to a salary of four hundred stones.

For many people who have no hope of going to school, but are unwilling to go to the local government to serve as small officials, Chengen Buddhist Temple is a good choice for Chengming Temple.Of course, the family of Fanshi disdains such a position very much.Therefore, the monks in this Buddhist temple are mostly scholars from poor families.

For this reason, Liu Bian was very happy, and even praised Dong Bi at the court meeting.

Although it is said that Buddha's preaching has been restricted, after all, he has obtained a channel.As for whether they can succeed, it depends on their own abilities.

In mid-December, at a place three squares away from Cheng'en Buddhist Temple, many big households in Chang'an raised funds to build a Taoist temple.And invited two well-known god sticks... oh, not god sticks, but Zuo Ci Yuji, a man among gods, as the guardians.And these two people came forward and invited a man of Taoism named Ge Xuan.

This Ge Xuan, 38 years old, was from Langya, Xuzhou, and later moved to Jurong County, Danyang, Yangzhou.

This person was born in a family of officials and eunuchs. Gao Zu Ge Lu was once the general of the Hussars of the Han Dynasty and the Marquis of Xiapi.His ancestor, Ge Ju, was the servant of Huangmen in the Han Dynasty.His father, Ge Deru, served as the Minister of the Great Honglu Deng. He believed in the Tao of Huang Lao for several generations, and had a profound study of the "Tao Te Ching".

After Dong Bi invented punctuation marks, Ge Xuan, who was only a weak crown at the time, took the lead in accepting it, and annotated the article "Commentary to Tao Te Ching Broken Chapters", which was highly praised by colleagues who studied "Tao Te Ching" all over the world.Ge Xuan's research on the Tao Te Ching is definitely hundreds of times deeper than Dong Bi's.

When he wrote "Comments on the Broken Chapters of the Tao Te Ching", Ge Xuan was already famous in the Zuo generation of Zhenjiang.

At that time, he was cultivating in Chicheng Mountain, Tiantai, and met Zuo Ci, and with Zuo Ci, he practiced "The Sutra of Seven Transformations of the White Tiger", "The Sutra of Nine Tripods of the Taiqing Golden Liquid", and "The Sutra of Three Members of True One".

In the first year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo took over Luoyang.

Ge Xuan was successful in cultivating Taoism. He said goodbye to Zuo Ci Yuji, traveled mountains and rivers, and obtained local scriptures in Kuocang Mountain, Nanyue Mountain, and Luofu Mountains. On that day, Zhang Lu was dripping with cold sweat, and then left in a hurry.

According to Zuo Ciyan: Ge Xuan has illusion skills and is good at classics.

Zhang Lu also respected this very much, so when Zuo Ci invited Ge Xuan, Zhang Lu was also very happy and gladly invited him to take the seat.

Different from Buddhism, Taoism was born and raised here. In addition, in the Han Dynasty, many respected the Taoism of Huang Lao and loved the things of gods, so many people accepted it.After Ge Xuan arrived in Chang'an, please set up the ashram in Wangwu Mountain.Regarding this point, Dong Bi also had no objection.

As a result, there were two more schools in Chang'an City.

One is morality, and the other is Cheng'en Buddhist Temple... It is difficult to distinguish which one is better, but it has indeed attracted the attention of many people.

Dong Bi let out a sigh of relief.

******
Seeing that the New Year is coming, the affairs of Chengming Hall are becoming more and more busy.

On this day, Dong Bi found Dong Ji early in the morning, put a black package in Dong Ji's hands, and dispatched a hundred fighters.

"Give this package to the military division!"

Dong Ji looked at the package in his hand, and asked with some doubts: "Father, is that all?"

Nodding slightly, Dong Bi said: "Give the package to the military division, tell him, let him handle it by himself, solve it...he will understand what I mean."

"Here!"

Dong Bi seemed to have lifted a stone from his heart, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Go now... By the way, is Xiao Zhi going to leave?"

Dong Ji is now playing in Duyoubao, but unlike Fazheng, he can return to Chang'an at any time.Hearing Dong Bi's question, Dong Ji nodded, "Chengming Palace has issued an order to appoint Brother Fazheng as Daijun's prefect. In the past two days, he is handing over to Hai'er."

"Very good...it must be very busy."

Dong Ji said: "It's a bit busy, but Brother Fazheng has already explained the important things, and the rest are some trivial matters."

Dong Bi rubbed Dong Ji's hair, "In the Inspector's Office, there is no trivial matter... Don't take Liu Jin lightly... Also, is there any clue about the matter of the palace grandson?"

Dong Ji said: "My boy has checked, and the grandson of the palace is indeed from Yangzhou, but I found out that Jiang Xia is the one he often communicates with. My boy has asked Brother Wang Mai to send someone to Jiangxia to investigate. It must be in the year Afterwards, there will be news. But...he doesn't seem to have any malicious intentions, and he and his sister are just academic friends...Father, when I checked the origin of the grandson, I found an interesting thing."

"what's up?"

"A third-year student in Chang'an County, there is a man named Ying Shi. When I first heard about it, I thought that Ying Shi might be a descendant of Ying Qin, but later I found out... Daddy, guess who he is from?"

Dong Bi laughed dumbly, "Where am I going to guess, hurry up...I have to go to court."

Dong Ji's face turned serious, and he said softly, "This man's surname is Xun, and he comes from Yingchuan. His real name should be Xun Shi, and he is the second son of Xuchang Xun You."

Dong Yu couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air.

Dong Ji went on to say: "Not only is this Ying Shi, but I have also discovered several people who are similar to Ying Shi. Among them is Hou Ba, who is only 15 years old and is now a second-year student in the county school. In government affairs, he has good attainments, and his martial arts are not bad."

Dong Bi couldn't help being interested, "Who is this Hou Ba?"

"Hey, if you say it, it will definitely scare daddy. This Hou Ba's real name is Xia Houba, he is from Qiao County, Peiguo, and he is the son of Xia Houyuan, the general who conquered the West."

"what?"

This time, Dong Bi was really surprised!
It's fine for Xun You's son to join the county school, and Xia Houyuan's son...

When they joined the Chang'an County School, it was the end of the Danhan Mountain War and the period when the County School was just born. Dong Bi was not in Chang'an at that time.I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it.Over there, the two sides fought happily, but the descendants of the other side were studying on their own side?

It sounds very absurd.

But thinking about it carefully, this seems to be in line with the consistent style of those aristocratic families: not putting all their eggs in one basket.

This shows one thing: Dong Bi has been recognized by the family since he finished the Battle of Danhan Mountain three years ago.Of course, as Yu Xunyou and Xiahou Yuan are all important ministers of Cao Cao, naturally they will not have second thoughts.But this does not mean that the family behind them will allow them to act recklessly.At this level, the Kanto family must also consider a way out.

Dong Bi asked, "What did the military master say?"

Dong Ji replied calmly: "The military adviser said, let them play, it's a good thing!"

"Since that's the case, then don't make any noise. But you should pay more attention to these people and pay attention to their every move. In addition, hurry up and find out the origin of the grandson... Damn, your sister, I don't know how many wolves there are now , looking at it with red eyes."

Dong Ji smiled and bowed to his orders.

This is the last day of the second year of Taiping, which is what later generations call the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month.

After today, we will enter Taiping for three years.In the blink of an eye, it has been almost three years since Liu Bian ascended the throne, time is really fast.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty gathered together.

Dong Bi felt very relaxed, and knelt on the court hall, waiting for Liu Bian to go to court.

Today, he is not only the commander-in-chief of the three armies, but also holds the titles of Guang Luxun and Sikong. No one can compare with him.

At the age of only 33 years old, he is already an extremely powerful minister.

This is a very rare thing in court...

Dong Bi has nothing to do, in fact, there is no way to do anything.Because most of the government affairs are under the control of Chengming Hall, and all matters, big or small, are resolved before going to court.The court meeting is actually a form, and everyone knows it well.

With her hands in her big sleeves, even though she was kneeling, she still stood out from the crowd.

It's no wonder that looking at the entire court, I'm afraid there will be no one else who can be as terrifyingly tall as Dong Pi.

Liu Bian was also very happy in the past two months.

In any case, it is a good thing that Buddhism can gain a foothold in China.

Standing on top of Danbi, Zhongchang Attendant Yang Qian shouted loudly with a shrill voice: "There is a book to play early, and there is nothing to retreat to the court!"

Before the words were finished, a man in his early thirties came out from the court class, and after prostrating and saluting, he said respectfully: "Long live the report, I have a play."

"There is a copy!"

Dong Bi recognized this man, he was a son of the clan, named Liu Zhen, and his name was Gonggan, and he was from Dongping, Yanzhou.

His father, Liu Liang, once worshiped Shang Shu Ling and Ye Wang Ling.He was a famous Confucian in the early days of Emperor Ling.Because at that time, people in the world mostly communicated with each other based on interests, and met each other with evil songs.So he wrote the book "Broken Group Theory", which had a great influence when the party's imprisonment and the ten permanent servants were rampant.

And Liu Zhen himself is quite talented.

When Zheng Xuan gave a lecture in Beihai this year, he commented on the Seven Sons of Jian'an.This Liu Zhen is also one of them, and at the same time, after Dong Bi, another five-character sentence master in the Han Dynasty.He is the author of "Gongyan Poetry", although it is not as popular as Dong Yu's poems, but it is also very good.

After arriving in Chang'an, his behavior was not obvious.

He stood up, what's the matter?
"Reporting to the Holy Majesty, it has been three years since the Holy Majesty bestowed the mandate of heaven. In the three years, first there was the great victory of Luoyang, the governor of the capital, and the recapture of the old land of the Eastern Capital. Then there was good weather, and the people were safe and healthy. I often think that the Han Dynasty will prosper, and martial arts will flourish." Hou Gong is indispensable. Now there is something to promote education, which is even more great for the future. The princes and generals are all standing shoulder to shoulder with the governor, if there is no reward, how can they show the wisdom and magnanimity of the Holy One?"

Eh, you actually flattered me?
Dong Bi couldn't help narrowing his eyes, and glanced at Liu Zhen.

Something abnormal is a monster, and Liu Zhen and I don't know each other, and he flatters me for no reason, there must be something abnormal in it.

Subconsciously, she looked at Liu Bian.

Liu Bian looked very happy, nodded and said: "Ai Qing is right! I am today, the great governor has contributed a lot, and I have to reward him."

After a pause, "In Aiqing's opinion, what reward should I give?"

Liu Zhen seemed to think about it for a while, and then said loudly: "The minister thinks that with the meritorious service of the governor, being a marquis and worshiping a minister is not enough to show his merits. It should be used as a feudal state, please consider the emperor's discretion."

Dong Bi's head buzzed, and he was stunned!

Close the country?

This guy actually wants me to seal the country?

What is a closed country?The so-called closure of the country, to put it bluntly, means isolation.

The princes can only be princes, and they cannot be called lonely.But if there is a feudal state, it will not only increase the territory, but also open the three divisions of the government and have its own vassals.Prior to this, although Dong Bi was the main person in the court, Chen Gong and others were always officials of the Han Dynasty.But once Dong Bi seals the country and claims to be an orphan, then it is inevitable to build his own team.To put it more simply, Dong Pi was named a prince.

Since the Han Dynasty, most of the people who feudalized the country were relatives of the Han family.

It is not uncommon for people with foreign surnames to seal the country.For example, Han Xin, the one-word side-by-side king in the period of Gaozu... Of course, that is not a good example.

Dong Bi knew that Liu Zhen would not say good things for no reason.

But he never expected that Liu Zhen would request a fiefdom for him.For a while, Dong Bi was a little overwhelmed and looked at Liu Zhen in a daze.

Liu Bian obviously did not expect Liu Zhen to make such a suggestion.

After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly laughed: "With Dong Qing's meritorious service, it is a normal thing to enshrine the country. I was also thinking about what kind of reward to give Dong Qing. Since Liu Qing's family proposed it, I thought Let’s decide this matter...Yang Qian, pass on my decree, canonize the governor of the three armies, Guangluxun Sikong Dongyu, be the Duke of Liang, and deserve to enjoy the system of princes and kings in the early Han Dynasty."

Dong Bi finally woke up. After pondering for a while, he stood up and said in a deep voice: "Long live the report, please forgive me for not accepting it."

------------------

There are some logical errors in the paragraph, so make some supplementary revisions.

Regarding the issue of closing the country, it should be a duel between the clan and Dong Bi.At the same time, it was also a duel between Dong Ji and Zhou Buyi, two prodigy teenagers.

Of course, this is just a small episode and does not hinder the main theme.
